My name is Moko, a mother of three who admired my mother and worked in the care industry as a care worker and as a medical social worker (MSW) in a hospital. I will be drawing on my previous experience to write mainly about caregiving. Thank you in advance.

Staying active helps maintain good health, but intense exercise can raise concerns about injury.

So this time, we’re introducing recreation activities that incorporate sports and can be enjoyed safely by older adults.

You can choose options that suit your facility, such as events that can be done while seated or ideas using equipment designed with safety in mind.

From lively chats about nostalgic bowling memories to moving your bodies together in cooperation, there’s plenty to spark smiles.

Try incorporating these fun activities into your daily routine—they naturally help work the core and arms while everyone has a good time!

Balloon Volleyball is easy to set up and always a hit as long as you have balloons! Form a circle with the participants and create a divider in the middle.

Once the game starts, keep the balloon from touching the ground by batting it over to the other side.

You can play while seated and there’s little risk of injury, making it a great option for older adults.
